Big Lachie¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 71| BF| D

13/8

Relishing these fast conditions at present and his form at Brighton shows he will handle these undulations. Will not go down without a fight.

Form: 374122

Babyfact¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 9-12| J: L P Keniry| T: M S Saunders| OR: 70| D

9/2

Back to the mark which brought an easy Bath success last summer. Handles quick ground and she drops back into a grade which has brought four of her seven victories.

Form: 316-705

Edged Out¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 9-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 68| CD

7/2

Has not quite got home in this year's races when she has had plenty of use made of her. With plenty of other pacemakers there is a chance for her to get a tow into the race this time. Drops another 3lb and won this in 2014..

Form: 31-6433

Major Valentine^b⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁷⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 68| D

7/2

Scored five times last year but currently misfiring and blinkers failed to provide any spark last week. Down a further 3lb and rider good value for his claim.

The Big Short¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Dwyer| T: J M Bradley| OR: 66| D

28/1

Picked up a weak race at Leicester last year but went on to run some fair races in defeat. As a result he is 8lb above his winning mark and his stable debut suggested that mark has further to fall.

Form: 32258-6

Quantum Dot^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: E De Giles| OR: 62| CD

6/1

Four-time C&D winner who handles fast ground. Will attempt to make all and better drawn than last time, but just one win and one place from 17 starts in a class 5.

Forecasts

Big Lachie (13/8), Edged Out (7/2), Major Valentine (7/2), Babyfact (9/2), David's Beauty (9/2), Quantum Dot (6/1), The Big Short (28/1)

There should be plenty of pace here with course specialist Quantum Dot and the well-handicapped Babyfact in the lineup. That should help Edged Out who is drawn alongside and has had to set her own fractions lately. BIG LACHIE has come into his own whilst the ground has been fast and he is another likely beneficiary of a strong pace.
